Can a junior lienholder try to foreclose if I am in good standing with my mortgage lender? Is that something they ever try to do?
It's possible if the equity outweighs the cost of the foreclosure and sale. Foreclosure sale prices are typically well below market and the junior lien holder will have to pay off the other mortgage before getting its own money.

The other side of the coin is that the attempt at foreclosure by a junior lien holder may be defined as default on your first mortgage which could allow the first mortgage holder to call in the balance and foreclose, too. You'll have to study your mortgage contract to figure out if that is possible.
